I've been playing around with some new ideas, this one is fun...

very cool is that wood, how did you do the scales

wow...

Foil over netting?

That is wicked pissa ...almost reminds me of that plugbash corn cob plug .. carved head though ??? nice ....

Whooo!

the original is a wood body, carved head with scales made from some netting that I found on some infant equipment around the house, I stretched it over the plug body and sprayed polyurethane on it to secure it, then I reproduced it by molding the original and ran plastic tubing through the mold, dusted it with metallic powder pigments and poured feather-lite plastic, the tube lets me through wire it and place tail weight(s) wherever I need to...the netting creates the effect of little mirrors all over the body, finished it with system3....I like carving more than turning and now I can reproduce them...I located a pottery supply website that sells mats in various scale pattern sizes so I'm going to try actual scale patterns on the next body...


ps....Hope everyone has a Happy and Safe New Year!

Sh!t, I'd eat that!

HOLY MOLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very nice job. I can see me raking that up on the flats

Nice work. I enjoy the carving as well.
